Hebbville, I'd District.-A one year-old
daughter of Henry and Albertine Exmire died on
last Saturday morning. The child was sick about
an hour. It is thought that died of spasms. 1t
was buried in the Hebbvie Cemetery, Rev. Epling,
of Gainesville, conducting the services.
This week we are called upon to chronicle an
other casualty, very similar to the many for which
this community has of late become noted. Mr..
William Sauter, son of the late Lewis Sauter, made
a very narrow escape from being killed. He was
driving Mr.. Edward Sauter's four horse team when
the wagon began to slide off the road. He sud-
denly turned the leaders, which threw the saddle
horse upon which the driver sat at the time, throw
ing him under the wheels, which passed obliquely
across him. How the young man survived is GER
tainly miracle It is not thought that he was
even seriously injured. 1t does seem strange in
deed, that SO many accidents happen to transfers
in this section while scarcely oneis known in other
parts Of the county. The query arises, what is
the cause? Is it that the supervisors slant the
roads brinkward (Which is the case in the most
dangerous parts Of the Franklin road) instead of
backward? During this season of the year, when
the roads are ice paved and slanting, it is no
wonder so many lives are jeopardized, and oil
through the neglect of proper attention and en-
cheering. All roads should slant toward the hill
or backward. Then it would be an impossibiljty
for a vehicle to slip from the road. This principle
is carried out by all railroad builders, the outside
track being raised to counteract the curve line or
motion of the train. 1t may not be altogether the
fault of the road but the carelessness of the driver
Last Monday evening several teamsters were seen
coming down a hill on the Johnnycake road at
break neck speed. A colored man rushed his
mules down so fast that he did not observe the
tongue of his wagon was broken off and dragging
on the ground.
The fight between Messrs Emory Zimmerman
and Herman Piel over the road apprenticeship has
ended at last, Mr.. Pel receiving the appointment.
When Gen. Grant was out for third term some
persons thought it was awful, but for Democrat
to have life tenure in office is all right. This
life tenancy is not upon the principle of third
termism, but the monarchial of succession from
father to son.
The White Grounds Literary Society held o
very pleasant session Friday night of last week.
The renditions by Misses Lizzie Helvick and Jessie
Smink and Messrs. Samuel Hemp and Clarence.
Smink were well received. The question, Gre
solved, that the love of woman has a greater i'm
preston upon the mind of man than the love Of
liberty" was ably discussed pro and con and de-
cided in the affirmative, Messrs. Monterey Smink,
John Hughs and George Kelley being the judges.
Mr.. Henry Exmire lost very fine cow the other
night. She fell across chain and broke her neck.
A few members of the White Grounds Literary
Society met at their hall on the 9Th inst, and pro-
ceeded in body to the residence of Mr.. Caleb
Emmart, to present the resolutions of coincidence,
which had been engrossed by Prof. Burnett, of
Eaton & Burnett's Business College, Baltimore.
